Chapter 3 Recording and Playback Hot Swap Recording With a P2 card in each card slot it is possible to make one continuous recording that spans two cards. And by removing any card other than that being recorded, you can make continuous recording on 2 or more cards (hot swap recording). Note that recognition of a P2 card may be delayed depending on when it is inserted in an empty card slot (for example, immediately after pre-recording or when a recording continues from one card to the next). P2 cards should be inserted when there is still 1 minute or more time left on the card that is being recorded.  NOTE This function is not compatible with hot-swap playback. REC REVIEW Function • Pressing the RET button on the lens after a recording will automatically locate and play back the last two seconds of the most recent clip. Holding down the RET button on the lens will allow you to play back up to 10 seconds. Use this function to check that recording is performed normally. The camera returns to recording standby mode after playback. If the clip is short, holding down the RET button after a return to the beginning of the clip will not result in playback of the clip before the current clip. • You can use menu options USER MAIN, USER1 and USER2 to assign the REC REVIEW function to a user button. Select these options from the SW MODE screen.  NOTE • Note that a backup recording performed on a backup device connected to the DVCPRO/DV or SDI OUT connector will also record video played back using the REC REVIEW function. • In one-clip recording mode, the beginning of a clip is not used as the start position for playback after returning as far as possible with the REC REVIEW function or starting playback while recording is paused. Instead, playback starts from the start point of the most recent recording operation. Shot Marker (SHOT MARK) Recording Function This function can be used to distinguish a clip from other clips by adding a thumbnail to each clip. This also makes possible to display or play back the marked clips only. To add shot marks 1 In the SW MODE screen, assign SHOT MARK to a user button (USER MAIN, USER1 or USER2) or the RET button on the lens. For details on menu operation, refer to [Using the menus] (page 129). 2 Press the user button (or the RET button on the lens) to which SHOT MARK has been assigned during recording or when recording is paused. • SHOT MARK ON is displayed as a shot mark is inserted in the currently recorded clip. • Pressing this key a second time displays SHOT MARK OFF and the shot mark is deleted.  NOTE • A shot mark added during a pause after recording is added to the most recently recorded clip. • Shot marks can be added also in the thumbnail display. • The shot mark function is not available during loop recording, interval recording and one-shot recording. When this function is not available, pressing this button displays SHOT MARK INVALID. • Shot marks can be set or cancelled in playback pause mode but not during playback. • Shot marks cannot be set or deleted for video data created in a single hot-swap recording session consisting of multiple clips unless all the P2 cards that contain the video data for the entire session are inserted. In clips that consist of multiple clips like the one above, shot marks can be added only to the first clip of video data. Text Memo Recording Function Use this function to add text memos anywhere in the video during clip recording or playback. This makes it possible to display thumbnails only of clips with text memos, or to display thumbnails and time codes of text memo positions in order, to play back clips from text memo points and select and copy only the sections you want. For details, refer to [Text Memo] (page 116). To add text memos 1 In the SW MODE screen, assign TEXT MEMO to a user button (USER MAIN, USER1 or USER2) or the RET button on the lens. For details on menu operation, refer to [Using the menus] (page 129). 2 Press the user button (or the RET button on the lens) to which TEXT MEMO has been assigned during recording or playback. • "TEXT MEMO" is displayed and a text memo is inserted at the point the button is pressed.  NOTE • You can insert up to 100 text memos per clip. • Text memos cannot be added during loop recording, interval recording and one-shot recording. When this function is not available, pressing this button displays TEXT MEMO INVALID. 46
